Remember the date

28 years ago today as John Lennon and Yoko Ono returned home they were stopped by a fan named Mark David Chapman. John recognized him, because he had signed an autograph for him earlier that day. This time Chapman had a gun, and shot John Lennon....
Something to remember John Lennon:




I watched a special about the day he died and the NYC police officers who came to the Dakota that night. When they were who the victim was some of them began to weep openly. When they were interviewed for the special, the memory brought them to tears again, and it was more than 25 years later.

The lyrics are truly poignant in these troubled times. One day we will hopefully realize his dream.

Given the current situation in Iraq, it makes the sentiment especially poignant.

"All we are saying is give peace a chance."
